Two parents retained our firm on behalf of their five year old son, who was attacked by an unprovoked pit bull. The little boy was walking with his grandmother in a park in Fairfax County, Virginia when they came across a woman walking two dogs. The woman assured them that her dogs were friendly, but one of them lunged at the little boy and bit him, severing part of his ear. He required plastic surgery to restore the ear and the long recovery period took an enormous toll on his family. Fortunately, he made a good recovery. We tracked the dog owner’s activity on social media and located statements she had made that proved she had reason to keep her dog away from the child. We were then able to obtain an offer of the full insurance policy available of $300,000 without the need to file a lawsuit.
